It's the Italian/New American bistro 's attention to detail, visible in the exquisite artisanal cheese plate , the seared scallops , whole grilled artichoke , and the homemade triangle-shaped pasta . Read more
This place has some of the best pasta that I've eaten. They have a little more variety compared to Little Nonnas. BYOB , so make sure you get your booze. This place is cash only , so hit the ATM .
Artichoke and octopus to start... short rib ragu with polenta is rich enough for two!
The portions for the prix fixe menu are SO large - come hungry if you do that!! The lamb osso bucco is to die for.
Small intimate dinner spot but great little BYO in the summer especially!
My favorite italian place in the city so far - try the pyramid pasta , gnocchi , and any of their delicious olive oils and/or vinegars!
Everything is very tasty. Meat plates are big and are well combined with veggies and sauces. Excellent place!!!
Don't miss the delicious pastas and vegetables ! We love the Autumn Veggie Risotto and the Bittersweet Molten Chocolate Cake . Check our review for the full scoop! Read more
Artichoke , any of the pastas , all worth it. But be prepared to wait -- like an hour, even with a reservation .
Three course $35 tasting menu on Monday and Tuesday night for dinner
Mackenzie Hilton’s Italian fare rivals that of all the competition in the neighborhood . Don't miss the crispy skinned striped bass ! Read more
Some of the best Italian food you'll ever eat. My 2nd favorite restaurant in Philly. Get the Pyramid Pasta !
Don't eat prior to your dinner if you decide to do the 4 course tasting!! It's worth the money but make room for it :)
BYOB for the win. Also, food was amazing.
Wasn't impressed with my vegetarian dish but all the carnivores seemed to love it. The truffle cheese is delicious.
The Cioppino is one of the best seafood meals I've ever had.
The whole grilled artichoke is automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky, fresh.
If you make it to Mercato don't miss out on the whole grilled artichoke with citrus aioli or the crispy-skinned striped bass . Read more
Get the four course tasting menu ! Only $48 and you can try so many items!
This neighborhood BYOB has a cool olive oil list and some serious artisan cheeses .
The specials: grilled octopus salad and pan-seared barramundi .
Food is great, it's tiny inside though.
Cash Only BYOB . Try and the Filet with Mashed Potatos and Brussel Sprouts (w/Bacon). Tremendous Dish.
This place has the best tiramisu in Philadelphia ????
the Pyramid pasta is off the hook. start with the Artichoke , very tasty.
Pumpkin fettucine and marscapone cheesecake . You're welcome.
Get the Pyramid Pasta !
Try the Butternut Squash Soup
Overpriced. Mostly small portions. Food is okay. Pyramid pasta tasted like $10 not $30. If Mercato was closer to all the other restaurants most people would choose to go to those instead.
Try the Squid Ink Pasta
Try the Lamb Ragu
Delicioso! BYOB
Try the Risotto
Try the Artichoke
Anything with artichokes will be amazing!
BYOB and cash only
That Italian girl that seats people has a weiner.
BYOB but cash only !
Get the veal , amazing.
Pyramid Pasta !!!
Food took forever. Left very uninspired.
Great for groups! And they can handle groups of any size. They dazzled 60 of our wedding guests without breaking a sweat. - Dennis B
great ambiance with an adventurous take on Italian. don't ignore the specials & leave room for dessert :) - Meghan Brindley
One of many fantastic desserts on the menu at Le Virtu in Philadelphia, the Torta di Mandorle is a flourless citrus-almond cake with cinnamon-whipped sheep’s milk ricotta and saffron honey. - Reserve
Awesome selection of wines, great menu selections, and I really LOVED the atmosphere! - City and Chic at the same time. -The servers are incredibly nice and very knowledgeable if you have questions. - Chris Ostroski
I've been here for an orchestra concert. The acoustics and sound is amazing from every seat. It is a beautiful concert hall. It is simply marvelous from the first step you take inside. - Jade Henley
The brunch specials are delicious and the bloody Mary is to die for!! - Hank Tie
